5.8GHz antena

Post by zoom »

Hi, I'd like to attach a USB 5.8GHz antena/transmitter to Raspberry Pi, (and use it as a personal hotspot), does anybody know if there's any product supported in Pi platoform?

thank you

I'm afraid we only have 2.4GHz wifi hardware.

You might ask over in the RasPi forums: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/

The D-Link DWA-182 Rev. C (or C1 ??) is a USB 3.0/2.0 WiFi AC adapter with Linux drivers. What I don't know is how intensive the adapter is on any given CPU.

Edit:

Err, wait, 5.8GHz? What runs on 5.8GHz? Wikipedia states that 802.11P works at 5.8-5.9 GHz for vehicle communication applications. Sounds like very early bleeding edge stuff, or something related to HAM radio.

Some 802.11n devices use the 5.8GHz band.
